ἀνάκειμαι

ἀνά-κειμαι

[in LXX: I Est 4,10, Tob 9,6 א * ;]

1. in cl., as pass. of ἀνατίθημ, to be laid up, laid: Mark 5,40 Rec.

2. In late writers (cf. MM, VGT, see word) = κεῖσθαι, κατακεῖσθαι, to recline at table: Matt 26,20 part. ἀνακείμενος, Matt 9,10; 22,10-11; 26,7, Mark 6,26; 14,18; 16,14, Luk 22,27, Joh 6,11; 12,2; 13,23, 28.†

SYN.: ἀνακλίνω, ἀναπίπτω, the latter denoting an act rather than a state and thus in Joh 13,25 differing from ἀνάκειμαι (see. Joh 13,23) by indicating a change of position.
